The four-cylinder OM 654 diesel with 176 kW and 500 Nm of torque sets the benchmark in the MPV segment. In the acceleration phase, the V300d can deliver an additional 30 Nm of torque for a short time ("overtorque").
Available for the first time with V-Class, the 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission improves shift comfort and fuel efficiency.
The driver can use the DYNAMIC SELECT switch to select the drive programs "Comfort" and "Sport" and thus influence the gearshifting characteristics.
Alternatively, "Manual" mode allows the driver to shift manually using the DIRECT SELECT steering wheel paddles.

Mercedes-Benz V-Class seat configurations

The V-Class grows with its tasks: seating can be configured to fit up to 8 people without sacrificing luxury with various combinations of individual seats as well as 3-passenger bench seats. Two comfortable individual seats and a 3-passenger bench seat are installed as standard in the rear. If 6 seats are required, swop the 3-passenger bench seat for 2 individual seats or replace the 2 individual seats with a 3-passenger bench to fit 8 people comfortably. Practical details, such as the seat rail system which enables benches and seats to be moved in the longitudinal direction, or face-to-face positioning, allow individual comfort preferences to be accommodated.

Illuminates the road in the best possible way.

Thanks to Highbeam Assist Plus the driver benefits from the best possible illumination of the road at all times, without dazzling other road users with the high beam.

Highbeam can remain switched on constantly. If the system detects vehicles travelling ahead or oncoming traffic, these are then automatically spared from the light cone of the high beam. This makes the tedious switching from low- to high-beam and back a thing of the past, so that the driver can concentrate fully on driving and the traffic situation.

Illumination adapted to current driving situation.

The LED Intelligent Light System improves the driver's vision and therefore driving safety, as it can adjust the illumination of the road surface to various driving conditions. The adaptive headlamps can swivel vertically and horizontally and are variable in their luminosity.

The system includes Highbeam Assist, which can help ensure oncoming vehicles are not dazzled, and the active light function, which swivels the headlamps towards the inside of a bend thereby providing significantly better illumination of the road. Further functions include the highway mode, where the lighting of the road surface is also optimised for the respective driving conditions.

Intelligently coordinated systems.

The Driving Assistance package is an intelligent combination of four assistance systems which take the strain off the driver and make driving safer.

For example, they can help the driver to maintain a minimum distance from the vehicle in front, be aware of vehicles in the blind spot and not inadvertently stray from the lane the vehicle is travelling in. In critical situations, they can help to prevent accidents or at least lessen their impact. Here the anticipatory occupant protection system PRE-SAFE^® can detect critical driving situations at an early stage and initiate preventive protection measures.

Can reduce the track offset with braking interventions.

Crosswind Assist can detect track offset caused by strong crosswind gusts in good time and help the driver to stay in lane.

A sudden track offset of the vehicle can cause improper steering reactions on the part of the driver. Crosswind Assist can correct the course of the vehicle automatically from a speed of 80 km/h. The track offset is therefore significantly reduced and the influence of the crosswind blasts is largely balanced out or reduced.

All-round view and parking assistance.

Active Parking Assist with 360° Camera (optional) provides comprehensive support for the driver when searching for a parking place and when entering or leaving a parking space as well as when maneuvering.

Active Parking Assist looks for suitable parking spaces and automatically steers the vehicle into parking spaces both parallel and at ninety degrees to the road. The 360° Camera makes the area immediately surrounding the vehicle visible – both from a bird's-eye view and below the window line. It thereby helps to identify any obstacles when parking or maneuvering.
